2003-09-18Put a tad more detail in the discussion of postmaster and postgresTom Lane
signal handling.
2003-08-31Add/edit index entries.Peter Eisentraut
2003-07-29Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminateTom Lane
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these. Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.
2003-05-02Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
2003-03-25Merge documentation into one book. (Build with "make html".) ReplacePeter Eisentraut
vague cross-references with real links.
2003-03-24Another big editing pass for consistent content and presentation.Peter Eisentraut
2003-01-19This patch includes a lot of minor cleanups to the SGML documentation,Bruce Momjian
including: - replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL ...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on - fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation - add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation - improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here) - minor markup fixes Neil Conway

2002-07-28Structure reference pages consistently. Document that structure.Peter Eisentraut
Add information about environment variables.
2002-04-21Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newerThomas G. Lockhart
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x. Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag. Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which (at least) messes up the ToC layout. Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.
2002-03-22Spell checking and markup additionsPeter Eisentraut
2002-03-02Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REALLYFATAL => PANIC STOP => PANIC New INFO level the prints to client by default New LOG level the prints to server log by default Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG Remove debug_level GUC parameter elog() numbers now start at 10 Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog() Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
2001-12-08Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenlyThomas G. Lockhart
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

2001-11-25Further work on postmaster and postgres reference pages.Tom Lane
2001-09-27Remove useless LockDisable() function and associated overhead, per myTom Lane
proposal of 26-Aug.
2001-09-08Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow;Peter Eisentraut
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb. A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1. (Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.) In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined. Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no users are defined. Disallow dropping the current user and session user. Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd. (Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".) CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100 (unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

2000-05-08Minor fixups for markup and wording.Thomas G. Lockhart
2000-05-03Oops,I've forgotten to add an documentation about -P option ofHiroshi Inoue
postgres.
2000-03-27Start updating for the v7.0 release.Thomas G. Lockhart
Use "generic functions" for math and other routines. Use SQL92 "type 'literal'" syntax rather than Postgres "'literal'::type".
1999-08-06Fix markup to allow clean man pages.Thomas G. Lockhart
Add new pages for programming languages and tcl shells.
1999-07-22Complete merge of all old man page information.Thomas G. Lockhart
ecpg reference page still needs formatting.
1999-07-06Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.Thomas G. Lockhart
No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time. Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace in front of <term> contents. This will probably help the other output types too.
1999-06-14Minor updates for release.Thomas G. Lockhart
Split reference pages for CREATE TABLE AS and SELECT INTO to allow psgml (the emacs parser) to handle parsing.
